Mr, Fenno,
lied J HAVE by accident seen a Tr«nton paper, In
which is coatained an address of peneral Lawrencc,
* to the militia of Mowmoiith. The excellent and
trulyfederal fcntimenlß of which, have induced me
to tequeft yau will giVe it a place in your paper.—
:e.) It is always of confeqiience (and particularly at this
time) to be able to give so pleafin;i a proof of (hs
attachment of our more particularly
. of the militia, who are properly ftvled the balwark
'' of our nation, to our federal con dilution. It i£
also worthy of remark, that the fenrimentscontained
in general Lawrence's addref*, we have reason to
believe, are congenial with those of the legiflatttre
of Ncw-Jerfey ; shortly after they were delivered
we 'find him chosen by that body as an eleiflpr of
President and Vice-President of the United States.
